"Lower employment rate means higher productivity. It just means that fewer people in this segment of the economy produce more than [the average] in the rest of the economy," Rimantas Juozas Vaicenavičius, director of the Statistical Department of the Bank of Lithuania who led the study, said.
The study also showed that products and services created by the creative industries make 4.68 percent of Lithuania's export and the share is constantly rising.
"The situation is that now we create more for internal consumption but if we look at how the situation changes, then (…) at the end of the studied period, the share of exports is almost equal to the value added share," Vaicenavičius told reporters.
